small diesel cars, way of the future?

[G]

I have a friend with a 380bhp c20let in the pug 306. The thing is rediculous.

He's still got it then

Turbo's can be made out or jafa cakes twigs and gaffa tape so that argument is irrelevant

If its some chav'd up (please expand on chav'd up, or are you branding anyone with a modified car a chav?) car, stupid kit that doesn't suit the car, stupid stickers and 6x9's, sure.....

If it was in a shell like my other halfs, or my old car, then no not at all. Im not a snob.

And to be fair, whats the difference from driving the bottom end of the car list, opposed to riding a bike thats at the bottom end of the list??

Branding, being done in the UK since 0AD.

*gets wooden spoon out*

Call me a snob if you like .... but I'll stick to my Audi's, BMW's and Lotus' .....

Its what makes you feel good that's important .... you might feel good driving around the ring road in a fast Corsa (normally very slowely because its been lowered, and the ride is horrendous) ......last weekend I couldn't have felt better driving around Cornwall in a 2009 BMW 3 series convertible ....

SV's and ER6's, etc aren't low end bikes anyway ...... got to be mid-range

Corsa, Fiesta, etc ....... 125's - 250's - Scooters ....
VW, Audi, BMW, etc ..... SV's - ER6's etc ...
Porsche, Aston, etc ..... Truimphs, GS's ...(kinda)
Ferrari, Lambo's ...... Ducati, high end Triumphs, BMW's etc

Audi - Had recovery for any electrical issues yet? Most commen marque callout..
BMW - Found the indicator stalk yet? And the mirrors, and worked out how to use the inside lane

Slow? Ok, seriously, when a mildy fettled engine will produce some rediculas 40-140mph times, i'd think otherwise. Say nothing that you don't know about

TBH, I enjoy driving our Astra VXR, and I loved my SV, but then im not a snob. I find driving our Mercs, Audis and BMW's comfy, but quite plain, badge whoar worthy but expensive over-rated unless you have the top of the range models. I do hope your BMW is a M model.

You stick with your BMW and bike, and i'll stick with our VXR, budget suzuki, and stunning Italian bike.

I admit there are a lot of boyracers and real neds that drive them about and ruin the reputation of modified cars, but try not to tarnish all with the same brush. There are a lot of very VERY clean examples, highly tuned and modified and restored that would put shame to a lot of expensive sports cars. There is also the huge social aspect, the enjoyment of making something far better, and the hobby side that makes it all worthwhile.

My old one was tastefully done using all of Vauxhall/Stienmetz add ons (same as AC Snitzer for BMW), but my other halfs is totally her own design, unique, not driven like a boyracer on acid, had a lot spent on, and had a lot of fun doing.

Stop being snobbish, open your mind a little. Lifes more fun.
